The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Comments about Ortlieb Vario QL3 Backpack Single Pannier:
The QL3 system is fantastic. The bag is slim, so there's little worry about heel strike. Everything else about this product I find clumsy and awkward.
As a backpack I find it horrendously uncomfortable. Detaching the backpack straps is just enough of a pain that I tend to just carry it by the handle (and there is no fixed handle, just the one that attaches to the moving QL3 parts). Stuffing the straps into the pocket severely compromises the effective capacity of the bag (at least with my load including a 15" laptop, and a water bottle in the side pocket). Moderately featured with internal organizational pockets.
I've simply detached the backpack system altogether and hooked on a shoulder strap.

Comments about Ortlieb Vario QL3 Backpack Single Pannier:
I've been searching for a perfect bag to get my stuff (change of clothes and a lunch) to work for a long time. I did the messenger bag thing for a number of years (Timbuk2, would still recommend it) but I wanted to get the weight off my body and on the bike. However, when I get to work I still walk a few blocks to the gym so carrying a standard pannier was too awkward (Avid). Then I tried the supposedly water proof double pannier from Timbuk2, which I returned because it leaked.
The Ortlieb bag is everything it says and more. It's so comfortable as a backpack I think I'll start using it as a day pack. The quality of the attachment to the rack, the seams, the straps is phenomenal. I expect this pack will outlast everything but the frame on my bike.
